#ARMIN MEIWES VIDEO REAL HOW TO#
In 2007, the UK's Daily Mail reported that he has since become the head of the prison Green Party, a group of murderers and pedophiles who talk about how to make the world a better place. In the first, the judge gave him 8½ years, saying that it was not murder, but a case of "two psychologically sick people who found each other." A retrial sent him away for life. The video showed Brandes giving consent, up until the moment he lost consciousness. His defense, however, was that there was no crime since the victim asked for it. No German laws made cannibalism a crime, so the charges against Meiwes were murder for purposes of sexual pleasure and disturbing the peace of the dead. By the time of his arrest, he had already consumed 45 pounds of Brandes' flesh, much of which he fried in garlic. Not long after cops started sniffing around, taking some of the bags from his freezer, Meiwes confessed. One of his online friends found the tone of Meiwes' discussion disturbing, even for a site that catered to horror and nervous thrills. He labeled and froze the leftovers, then hit the keyboard seeking another victim. He pan-broiled some flesh and then, on a table set with his mother's best tablecloth, he paired the meal with a good red wine. Brandes was still alive the next morning, so Meiwes slit his throat and cut the body into pieces, the action caught on tape.
